Heroes, traitors, and great thinkers
come to life in this activity book, and the concepts
of freedom and democracy are celebrated in true accounts
of the distinguished officers, wise delegates, rugged
riflemen, and hardworking farm wives and children who
created the new nation. This collection tells the story
of the Revolution, from the hated Stamp Act and the
Boston Tea Party to the British surrender at Yorktown
and the creation of the United States Constitution.
All American students are required to study the Revolution
and the Constitution, and these 21 activities make it
fun and memorable. Kids create a fringed hunting shirt
and a tricorn hat and reenact the Battle of Cowpens.
They will learn how to make their voices heard in "I
Protest" and how Congress works in "There
Ought to Be a Law."
A final selection including the Declaration of Independence,
a glossary, biographies, and pertinent Web sites makes
this book a valuable resource for both students and
teachers.
